I understand that people are excited to see something different than the typical European setting as SSC banner. That said, the "something other than" could be a hell of a lot better than this. The crop alone is driving me insane. Look at the streetlight cut off at the bottom left corner and tell me that doesn't make you go WHAAAAA?

you people are all so square an boring! I for once I am glad they showed something different specially from european countries which for the most part are very predictable, not everything has to be be church spires surrounded by a blanket of snow

I know right! I'm so done with European medieval rooftops, it's so overdone. This is a unique piece of architecture, the first Polish example of postmodernism. By definition it is a historic building that deserves to be showcased because it represents a time of great change in that country.

Excellent and unique example of avangarde architecture ! First fresh wind of post-modern building in post-comunist Poland !

Interesting how Polish members want to acquaint SSC members with aspects of their recent history. But when you have to read an entire article to understand a banner I am not sure if that is the meaning of the daily banner. 3/5 since I am split on the matter.

This building represents typical Polish taste in terms of architecture.

It's ridiculous for me to consider that banner just in aesthetic ways. Its duty is clearly written: Solpol suprisingly is becoming a monument (while it's built in 1992). It rightly caused a perturbation, but if someone do some research in the situation, it's not as silly: we might treat that building as sign of economical and structural changes happening in Poland in early 90's and it's perhaps the most significal of all such buildings in Poland. On the other hand, the photo is pretty decent.

You people can say what ever you want. But I am telling you, this stuff is masterpiece. It is recognizable from very first moment. Probably most of you are confused because this building looks weird. But everything valuable is weird when you se it for first time. I don't understand what are you all laughing at. And it was also great idea to bring this one for banner. Aren't you all bored of watching photoshoped panoramas every single day???? Who ever brought this one, did good thing. It's so refreshing. Photograph is excellent, banner is graeat, this building is 'masterpiece'....

I don't know what architect had in mind when he was doing this. But intentionally or unintentionally he actually did great job. Even if this building is a 'kitch' it is most certainly exception of the rule. You may say it's a 'kitch' that surpasses a 'kitch'. Therefore it's not 'kitch' any more. I'd say it recycles an old idea in 'kitch' way and at the end it becomes something new and original in it's own way. And that's why I think it's brilliant...

It's kinda experimental architecture. If we do not experiment, how are we suppose to discover new things? So, again, I like it. I believe it deserves better rating...it's very fresh, inovative, in a way surprising....

Banner is actually very nice. It's kinda modern trope of Statue of Liberty. I guess most people dislike it because they expect something more older from East Europe. But East Europe is not only about old castles and past times. It's also about new and modern things. I like it. 5/5.

Hooray for the future historical monument! It's an architectural analogy of that photo showing you painting the wall with your poop as a toddler. One needs to learn to cherish that kinda souvenirs from the past.
